If anyone has information about the perpetrator of this, please call the police. We’ve heard the attack was on Avenue U. Though we all sometimes have problems with our neighbors and their dogs (and their poop), this type of reaction is plainly sociopathic. Help get him off of our streets!
From the Daily News:
A Brooklyn man was doused with acid because his dog barked at someone on the street, police said Thursday.
Igor Dubrovinsky, 29, was at Staten Island University Hospital with burns to his neck, hands and face the Wednesday confrontation. His injuries were not life-threatening, police said.
Dubrovinsky was walking the dog around the corner from his Sheepshead Bay home when he passed a man wearing all black.
“The dog starting barking at him,” said a source. “I guess the guy got upset.”
He flung the acid at Dubrovinsky and fled. The dog was not harmed, police said.
No one has been arrested.
An 83-year-old Sheepshead Bay resident beat up a 99-year-old Fort Hamilton man on Monday, leading to charges of assault in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon.
Gersh Gofman left Steve Pulwers, who is nearly blind, with broken ribs and a broken nose after hitting him in the face with a steering wheel club. Pulwers managed to anger Gofman by asking him to move his car, which was blocking his building’s driveway.
According to Yournabe.com, “Pulwers, a survivor of Stalin’s forced labor camps, told reporters that the most shocking thing he remembered about the attack was the thought that he was being attacked by another Jew.”

When he spotted the culprit, a fight ensued in which the thief, Joseph Neuer, brandished a knife. Ventura avoided injury as he slugged the would-be robber, and passengers and crew bound him with duct tape. When they docked at the Sheepshead Bay marina, police arrested the felon and charged him with third-degree assault, menacing, harassment, and petit larceny.
